I have been working on a little project today that will be done in a day or two. I will post a photo when it is complete. I quilted the two sides of the bag that I am making today and did some sewing on the ribbon that will be an accent. I also created a couple of tabs to add to it. I have some great star buttons that I will put on it when I get finished with it. I used the cutest fabric that is floral and zebra strip. You will have to see it to understand.
Well so much for today. Later ladies.

No Progress
Well, I made no forward progress today, however I feel better and I got up and got dressed for the first time since I went to the Dr. on Fri. I even got in the car and went to the mailbox. I thought about walking there, but it was cold and I was afraid it would take too much out of me. Of course, I thought well if I'm in the car anyway I guess I can go get some coffee.
I didn't get any quilting done, but I did have a good time this evening with my girls. They did girls night at our house tonight and I watched them play games. They played Buzz Word and it was fun to watch them. Tomorrow I will get out the Three fabric challenge and work on that and the black and white quilt.

getting better
Well, I have spent the afternoon trying to figure out if I can make new sheets for the bed. I have lots of fabric and it is cut to 102" by 120" I have no idea what the measurements of my queen size bed are. I don't have any other sheets and I want to change the ones on this bed ASAP since I have been so sick. I was in the process of making table cloths for my daughters wedding reception when I realized it was costing me 30.$ a table and renting was only gonna cost 13$. So the fabric is here and cut I know I have equipment to do the job if the fabric is big enough. I am going to wash all the quilts and sheets and if we have to wait to go to bed we will. I can't let my DH get this flu if he hasn't gotten it yet.

Got the Flu
Well, I have the flu and I am beginning to feel better but still have such a headache. I won't bother you with my pain but wanted to let you know I am still around just sick. I hope to be back with the promised instructions in a few days. Happy Quilting!!

Little Star Quilts 2009 New Beginings
Well, I have made the decision that I will make this a priority for this year. I have so many projects I am working on and many more I would love to do, so writing about them should be part of my daily activities. I bought a new book today and a calendar for the year. I love to have pictures of beautiful quilts on my walls all year. The book will most likely be the text book for a club I lead. I have been creating items for them to make every month and it has gotten so hard to do, so I believe I will give them a quilt to shoot for instead. If you happen to live in the Austin TX area let me know and I will give you more information on how to find my classes.
I have not forgotten that we have not put a binding on our quilt. I just haven't gotten around to writing the directions for you yet. I have the photos completed though so I will give that my attention in the next few days. I have to go visit a friend who has been in the hospital so it may not be tomorrow. She is home and expecting to be a new grandmother any day now. So I will go visit her and take the gift I made for the new mom and baby.
The quilt I am working on this week is one I designed on the software at work. This is a embroidery soft ware, but it is a quilting part of it. This is a black and white quilt, since the world seems to think black and white is not the way life is. The girl I am making it for is in school to be a missionary. She will be leaving for Africa in the Summer and I would like to have it completed for her before she leaves.
I also am still working on the quilts from the dead guys clothes. I have two tops completed and ready to quilt. I have the third one started and completely cut out. I have the plan for the last one and part of it is cut as well. I am able to cut parts of the last one as I do the third one. Then I will take the left over pieces and make as many baby quilts as I can. I have another one that is almost completed, I need to finish. I have it over three quarters quilted.
Well, I must go for tonight, hope you have a new quilt in your head to keep you busy over the next few days. Happy Quilting.
